There should be an option for the customer to delete past trip history without deleting Uber account itself.
Papi Scott says
I agree whole heartedly! Allow customers to delete ride history on their side. Uber can keep the data on their side just make it so it’s gone from customer phone!
marua says
Update your system for customers to be able to delete the trip chat on customers side, if uber can still keep the info on their side its fine. We got secrets to keep lol 😎😎😎 i don’t need someone to get on my phone and know all the places i have been lol😏.
Ram says

Damon says
It should be optional to the customer/rider to retain or delete trip or address input history. This could be a privacy issue to some riders and cause them to choose a different ride service.
